It acutually looks nice in real life, it was in my friends older 5er.

I guess the true test is in having it installed on the E90 without complications that could otherwise occupy the existing system.

It's a nice system but a lot of people will prefer the Idrive as it has a lot of the BMW features embedded in it as a single source for a lot of controls.
Personally I think the IDrive just makes a cleaner look but clearly isn't as effective as the unit you displayed.
